According to Drake, there's car money and fresh start money. Then there's Saudi money and art money.

Then there's being able to effortlessly buy this $25 million emerald-cut diamond at Sotheby's Magnificent Jewels auction! This particular diamond, called the "Ultimate Emerald-Cut Diamond," weighs in at a stunning 100 carats and is fit for royalty.

If you're going to daydream about one day being able to own such luxuries, you might want to start with this flawless work of art. After all, it is a pretty sight!

According to Daily Mail, this stone originally weighed more than 200 carats but was since cut into a flawless, 100-carat emerald shape by De Beers in South Africa. This precious gemstone will be one of five 100-carat diamonds ever auctioned off at a Sotheby's sale.

I mean, let's be real here. It's not every day you find someone willing to fork over $25 million for a rock.

If you're having trouble collecting funds out of your piggy bank, maybe you should settle for the $18 million Jacob & Co watch we showed you last month.
